The massage game reminded me of a theory I once had about fashion magazines: they all end with a depraved cannibalistic feast where the women eat the men.
You see, all the women appear to have been starved, and all the men appear to have been oiled! Clearly ready for roasting.

Is that making fun of people who fat shame, or is it making fun of people who are anorexic? I can't tell, because it clearly has the "don't be anorexic" after school message vibe, but then the end makes it seem like anorexia is a joke. Is this just Pewdiepie's newest gimmic: Anorexia "jokes"?

I dunno. I always thought it was intended to be a generic spooky "Remember that girl you shunned for whatever reason well now she's back and she's going to eeeeeeeeeat youuuuu! OOoOOOoOoO!" story. You see a similar sort of tale in a lot of horror movies.

It seems like your typical "Don't ostracize people or they'll come back to deal you an ironic death!" horror story.

This so hard!!

I think one of the most important takeaways from this thread is that everybody likes playing dress-up; it's not a "girl" thing, and it's not dumb or bad because it's a "girl" thing. By relegating it to the title of "girly," it limits both what girls AND boys can do, keeping girls from expressing more agency and making boys feel ashamed of any desire to make their character look pretty.

Hell, I've put in hours and hours of playing around with Heromachine; I made a pretty princess, as well as a cybernetic soldier-woman of death and destruction! It's fun!

Quick question: are you only looking at Flash games or are you thinking of investigating the retro insanity that is PlayFKiss sites?

Also, wasn't there at some point a dress-up type RPG game called Shin Kisekae Monogatari?

The SAVIOR-XIII was an early project to create a labor suitable for emergency service use, capable of rescuing victims trapped in enclosed spaces or damaged vehicles. In many respects, the design was successful; its strength and adaptable frame, in addition to the two hydraulically operated pincers, allowed it to move almost any obstruction and safely retrieve disaster and accident victims.
It was discontinued however, upon the discovery that its horrifying appearance had caused several heart-attacks, as people who were in already delicate emotional states were suddenly confronted by a gigantic, jet-black, pincer-waving robot bursting through the wall.
Designers at Schaft industries called this outcome "disappointing".

That's how I found it. I happened to notice the "girl" tag and was curious. Turn's out there's a bloke called Papa who's big in the time management game world. Well he's eaten up quite a lot of the time I should have spent actually baking instead of cyber-baking anyway.

I don't know anything about this! Maybe I am just too much of a tiny baby, or I just didn't have fast enough internet as a kid. I will look into these things, although of course anyone who wants to is welcome to show them to us as well!

After that first game, I was hoping you'd throw in the nose job game that was kicking around in one of your earlier vids.

All the budget went on the light-pickaxe. :smith:

I actually saw the cord when I played it, but automatically thought it was a reference to Evangelion and didn't even notice that it's a USB cable. I fear this might mean it qualifies as a girl game only because the robots are few inches tops.

Or there's a big-rear end USB socket around.

WE're just enjoying the opportunity to indulge in something that doesn't make us horrible monsters in some way for enjoying. No body shaming. No racism. no *shudder* thinspirationalism. Just pure, uninhibited dressup.

Also crotch weapons.
